If you're still convinced that a in-depth analysis of network traffic might help you, go on:

• Find out the IP address the client causing trouble will come from.

• Replace 147.0.0.123 with the client address, log into your web server and run:

  remote$ sudo tcpdump host 147.0.0.123 and port 80 -s 0 -w /tmp/network.dump

• Copy the dump to your local machine:

  local$ scp $remote_host:/tmp/network.dump .

• Load the dump:

  local$ wireshark network.dump
